Doubling Down with the Derricos aired the 9th Episode of Season 3 tonight, April 19. The episode, titled Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter Is Dad, was quite tense, with all the adults dealing with their own emergencies.

The Doubling Down with the Derricos couple, Karen and Deon, live in Las Vegas with their 14 children: 16-year-old Darian, the eldest; Derek, 10; 9-year-old twins Dallas and Denver; 7-year-old quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko, and Dariz; 4-year-olds Diez and Dior; and the youngest born, 2-year-old triplets Dawsyn, De'Aren, and Dyver. The reality show focuses on their daily lives and struggles to raise their kids.


Doubling Down with the Derricos fans react as Deon tried to take care of 12 kids all by himself while handling a side project

Tonight's episode of Doubling Down with the Derricos was definitely chaotic. As the adults were busy with their own stuff, Deon took care of 12 kids on his own while also trying to clean the backyard.

Deon took on the project with enthusiasm but soon realized how tough it was. The kids made it extremely difficult for him to do any task. He made pizza and donuts for the kids for breakfast before school, but then he forgot the kid's school login ID.

When he tried to divert the kids by making them help him in the garden, they loitered around, wasting time playing in the dog pen. Deon was annoyed since he really wanted to show Karen that he could take care of the kids alone.

The kids ended up messing up the whole kitchen and even put lipstick on Deon when he was taking a nap. They told on him to their mom. Deon was eventually able to finish his backyard project with the help of his friend.

Needless to say, fans had some funny reactions to the whole ordeal.
